Question #f4e38
1 Answer
Their displacement is
Explanation:
The average velocity is given by:
#v_"avg"=(Deltas)/(Deltat)#
- Where
#Deltas# is the displacement (change in position#s# ) and#Deltat# is the change in time.
We can rearrange this equation to solve for
#=>color(darkblue)(Deltas=v_"avg"*Deltat)#
Before we put in the given information, however, we'll need to convert either the time or the velocity to coincide with the units of the other value. In other words, if we want a displacement in meters
#34cancel("minutes")xx(60"seconds")/(1cancel("minutes")#
This gives us
#=>Deltas=1999.2"m"#
#=>Deltas~~2000"m"#
Displacement is a vector quantity, so we'll also need to provide a direction, which is given as East.
